An evening out.

My new favorite pastime is sitting outside on my deck in the evening.

Wrapped in a blanket when the sun starts to descend. The chill is welcomed after the heat of a summers day.

The breeze teasing the pages of my book as I am lost in the story. It's euphoric and peaceful.

As the light slowly fades and the dim shimmer of the candles fail to light the pages of my book, I simply sit and listen to teenagers enjoying their summer evenings of freedom.

It's so easy to forget to slow down, take time to yourself, and enjoy the simple pleasures that life offers.

An evenings out, has taken on a whole new meaning for me, and I couldn't be happier.
